Assignment 7: Mean-Variance Portfolio Theory ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form 1 . Consider‚ as in Lecture 7.1‚ a portfolio of two risky assets‚ with expected returns rˉ1‚rˉ2‚ variances σ21‚σ22 and covariance σ1‚2. No other assets are available. You have to allocate $1 mln of investment in the portfolio of the two assets in order to minimize total portfolio variance. What is the optimal amount of investment in asset 1 (in mln dollars)? Assume expected returns are

Multivariate analysis of variance Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is a generalized form of univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is used when there are two or more dependent variables. It helps to answer : 1. do changes in the independent variable(s) have significant effects on the dependent variables; 2. what are the interactions among the dependent variables and 3. among the independent variables.[1] Where sums of squares appear in univariate analysis of variance‚ in multivariate

PROPERTIES OF DISCRETE TIME FOURIER TRANSFORMS ABSTRACT In mathematics‚ the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite list of equally-spaced samples of a function into the list of coefficients of a finite combination of complex sinusoids‚ ordered by their frequencies‚ that has those same sample values. It can be said to convert the sampled function from its original domain (often time or position along a line) to the frequency domain. INTRODUCTION The input samples are complex numbers

In PBM managed contracts among retail pharmacies such as‚ Bob’s Pharmacy‚ the PBM often in most instances will reimburse the pharmacy a flat rate dispensing fee for each prescription filled in addition to an added reimbursement amount for the actual product dispensed that can be based upon a percentage of the Average Wholesale Price (AWP). This price reimbursed for a drug may be different than the initial price that the retail pharmacy paid the drug wholesaler who supplied the drug to be dispensed

One-way Analysis of Variance (Abbreviated one-way ANOVA) is a technique used to compare means of two or more samples (using the F distribution). This technique can be used only for numerical data. It consists of a single factor with several levels and multiple observations at each level. With this kind of layout we can calculate the mean of the observations within each level of our factor. The residuals will tell about the variation within each level. It can also average the means of each level

LABOR COST VARIANCE CAN BE SPLIT INTO • Direct labor rate variance (P) Calculation: actual total labor costs - (total actual labor hours worked x budgeted labor hour rate) Interpretation: calculates the portion of labor costs variance driven by the changed labor rate per hour Possible reasons for variances: changes in staff qualification and skills‚ general increase of wages in economy‚ premiums paid to finish a job quickly‚ poor budgeting • Direct labor quantity (efficiency) variance (P) Calculation:
